Volcanoes are dangerous to people because:
1. Depending on how explosive the eruption is (which depends on the magma type), and depending on how close a city is to a volcano, the lava (which flows slowly) could burn and set things on fire.
2. The ash could block off the sun, destroying crops and food.
3. If the ash and gases released were breathed in, it could cause lung cancer.
4. Homes can be destroyed. Transportation like airplanes or cars can't be used because the ash would clog the engine and it would stop working.
5. The pyroclastic flow would kill people instantly (inside the flow is intense heat that would burn things alive)
